And gummery bread each day.”

“I went to the circus, and loafed around the back side till the watchman went by, and then dived in under the tent. I had my twenty-dollar gold piece and some other money, but I reckoned I better save it.... I aint opposed to spending money on circuses, when there aint no other way, but there aint no use in wasting it on them.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
